TRI ALLIANCE-NEWS
Great News, World triathlon Championships in Madeira.
Tri-alliance has again produced the goods at the World triathlon Championships in Madeira. Sophie Joynes who is one of our interstate athletes has repeated what our very own Tameka Day did last year by capturing the Silver Medal in the 20 – 24 age group. This is Sophie’s first World Champs. This is truly a great effort from this very talented athlete.
Lisa Nelson had an excellent race with a placing 15th in the 25 to 29 female age group with an impressive 33.17 run to bring her back through the field with the fourth fastest run split.
Tiffany had a great race finishing in 41st spot in the 20-24 age group, after enduring a very tough bike leg. Our other athlete in this race was the always persistent Sheree who on the day gave 110% but did it tough on the day to finish in 62nd spot. This was a great result from these two girls considering the tough course. I hope everybody congratulates them on their efforts and we all look forward to having them all home soon. You can check out all the results on the website below, or look on the Tri Australia website and go through the links.

Arti Shaw (Jodi Manions Better half) and also the man to direct all your telstra complaints to has finished the Aus Ironman in 12hrs.24mins after a rotten run with illness over the past 6 - 8 weeks. Arti's time was only 8 minutes slower than last year and considering his health problems and the fact that there was a non wetsuit swim this was a sensational effort. Well Done Arti. I'm sure that with some good luck and no some EARLY NIGHTS down at Tidal Place a sub 11hr is on the cards in the near future.
Over in Perth Kristy and Nikita have both finished competing for Victoria in the Australian Secondary Schools National Champs. Kristy finished 12th in the Under19 after having a blinder of ride. Nikita finished 15th in the Under14 after putting in 3 good legs. These efforts are sensational considering there were up against the best juniors in Aus.
Just today they both competed in the teams sections where each puts in there 3 best athletes from each age group. Kristy's under 19 team won the gold medal after Kristy put in another supa ride. Nikita's team finished 4th after also trying very hard.
These efforts by the girls were super considering all the work they have had to just get in the team. I congratulate them.
Happy resting to everbody and if your still training - keep going there's not long to go.
Cheers
Jarrod
